How do I orient a new session?
Part of the Compass recipes collection.
Question
How do I get a full cold-start briefing at the start of a new session?
Answer
Run compass bearings with no arguments:
./projects/ores.compass/compass.sh bearings
This prints five sections in order:
- What is ORE Studio? — one-line product identity + how to read the full doc.
- Where we are — current version, sprint, and all in-flight stories and tasks
(equivalent to
compass where). - Last session — most recent journal entry so you know what was last being
worked on (equivalent to
compass journal where). - Key recipes — the recipes tagged
:bearings:with title, description, and thecompass show <UUID>command to open each one. - Memories — the project memories tagged
:bearings:in the same format.
compass orient is an alias for compass bearings.
Script
compass bearings lives in projects/ores.compass/src/compass.py (cmd_bearings).
Recipes and memories appear dynamically — tag any doc with :bearings: to include
it; remove the tag to exclude it.
Tested by
Manual: run compass bearings and verify all five sections appear with correct
content.
